In 1968 the spy ship USS Pueblo was captured by North Korea, allegedly in 
their waters (but the Americans dispute this) after a 2-hour chase and the 
death of a crew member; there was no time to destroy the classified 
material.  The crew were held prisoner for 11 months, but the Pueblo 
remains in North Korea as a war museum exhibit, and still remains a 
commissioned USN ship (the only one still held in captivity).

Dunno what happened to the crypto stuff, but I'll bet that the Chinese were 
slavering over it...
